North Carolina Presenters Consortium - ARTSMARKET 2023 BULL CHAT SPEED NETWORKING

Bull Chat Speed Networking Event Information

NCPC’s Bull Chat Speed Networking event will offer participants a dynamic platform to engage in fast-paced networking interactions. Attendees connect through focused small-group exchanges, fostering connections within a 5-minute timeframe. Speed-Networking is a quick way to meet and interact with colleagues and make mutually beneficial connections. It also allows participants to make decisions about whom to reconnect with during exhibit hall hours or after the conference.
